Annotations (full text): search for related information found in the models reference publication or third-party resources, by either publication/resource identifier or text (for example 9256450 or cyclin for publication, GO:0000278 or cell cycle for Gene Ontology, P04551 or cell division for UniProt).

A part from the BioModels identifier -based search, for every other criteria the search operates on a contains the entered string basis, case-insensitive. That is, searching Person for Shapi or shapi will return the same results as searching for Shapiro or shapiro. In addition, since search strings are treated as words, do not enter regular expressions.

Multiple criteria can be combined with either and or or. If and is selected, only those models satisfying all the criteria will be returned. If instead or is selected, all the models satisfying at least one of the criteria will be returned.
